Fear

Fear will take the best of us
Then come back for the rest of us
Its endless hunger is never satisfied
It's closer than a brother
More jealous than a lover
It'll hold you close as it swallows you alive
If you let down your guard
It'll steal your spark
There's no thief like fear

We try to blame jealousy
The weakness of human fallacy
The cruel and shifting winds of circumstance
But insecurities
Are the worst of our own enemies
And they'll rob you blind
Right before your eyes
There's no thief like fear
